I picked The Outsiders book because it was my favorite book in seventh grade, it was also one of the only books I didn't fall asleep reading because of how much I liked it.]]> 2021-08-30 15:02:38 UTC https://padlet.com/vflores48_2/v4itkqmahf8mn7x4/wish/1704711368 vflores48_2 https://padlet.com/vflores48_2/v4itkqmahf8mn7x4/wish/1704719833 Susan Eloise Hinton created the book "The Outsiders" in 1967.]]> 2021-08-30 15:06:25 UTC https://padlet.com/vflores48_2/v4itkqmahf8mn7x4/wish/1704719833 vflores48_2 https://padlet.com/vflores48_2/v4itkqmahf8mn7x4/wish/1789938614 Ponyboy is the main character and is a greaser and is the youngest out of all his friends. He has light brown hair and greenish-grey eyes. He is also a kind-hearted kid and the most sensible/educated out of all his friends. ]]> 2021-10-04 14:54:29 UTC https://padlet.com/vflores48_2/v4itkqmahf8mn7x4/wish/1789938614 vflores48_2 https://padlet.com/vflores48_2/v4itkqmahf8mn7x4/wish/1790005648 "I've been thinking about it, and that poem, that guy that wrote it, he meant you're gold when you're a kid, like green.  When you're a kid everything's new, dawn." (Page 178).
This is part of a letter that Johnny, a dying friend of Ponyboy, sent. He died and in the letter is describing how he felt before he passed.]]> 2021-10-04 15:12:39 UTC https://padlet.com/vflores48_2/v4itkqmahf8mn7x4/wish/1790005648 vflores48_2 https://padlet.com/vflores48_2/v4itkqmahf8mn7x4/wish/1790538921 "Greasers can't walk alone too much or they'll get jumped, or someone will come by and scream "Greaser!" at them, which doesn't make you feel too hot, if you know what I mean." and "We're poorer than the Socs and the middle class. I reckon we're wilder, too." (Pages 2 & 3). In these quotes Ponyboy talks about how it's difficult being a Greaser and how they're treated differently from other people because of their social class and the amount of money they have.]]> 2021-10-04 18:19:31 UTC https://padlet.com/vflores48_2/v4itkqmahf8mn7x4/wish/1790538921 vflores48_2 https://padlet.com/vflores48_2/v4itkqmahf8mn7x4/wish/1807965592 a) I finished reading 1 book, The Outsiders.
b) I currently have no book I am reading.
c) I get the most reading done on Saturday mornings, I usually read at home in my room.

There really is no comparison between them besides the fact that in both books assault was shown in some way.]]> 2021-11-22 16:02:52 UTC https://padlet.com/vflores48_2/v4itkqmahf8mn7x4/wish/1906465829 vflores48_2 https://padlet.com/vflores48_2/v4itkqmahf8mn7x4/wish/1906481068 Person vs. Society/Government

"For many years, reporters had tried to get to the truth about Harvey Weinstein's treatment of women"]]> 2021-11-22 16:09:24 UTC https://padlet.com/vflores48_2/v4itkqmahf8mn7x4/wish/1906481068 vflores48_2 https://padlet.com/vflores48_2/v4itkqmahf8mn7x4/wish/1931516815 a) I've only finished reading The Outsiders and an MCU magazine.

b) I am currently reading the book She Said by, Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey. I didn't have an independent reading book and just chose a random book I saw. 

c) Genres I find I am more attracted to are fiction and fantasy.

d) This book is about a woman who was sexually assaulted by a man in a higher power. This book has shown me how difficult it can be to come forward about assault and how easily people can just brush over the situation just because you don't have enough power over the person. It made me think about how lucky I am to have never experienced anything like this in my life. There has been the occasional cat-calling or feeling uncomfortable, but it's never gotten physical, which I am so grateful for.

e) I feel like this semester has not been a good one emotionally and mentally which has stopped me from reading some day. I defiantly feel like I could read more but I just don't have the mental capacity for so many assignments at once. I like the amount of time we have to read in class, I feel like it's a good amount.

f) I don't know what specific books I want to read next semester but I hope to at least read two or three. I want to try and read every day we have a class, for at least 20 minutes during the whole day, even if the time is cut up through the day.]]> 2021-12-06 16:11:45 UTC https://padlet.com/vflores48_2/v4itkqmahf8mn7x4/wish/1931516815 https://padlet.com/vflores48_2/v4itkqmahf8mn7x4/wish/2084370954 2022-03-08 16:34:07 UTC https://padlet.com/vflores48_2/v4itkqmahf8mn7x4/wish/2084370954 https://padlet.com/vflores48_2/v4itkqmahf8mn7x4/wish/2084378347 #1) I haven't really been reading a lot this quarter.

#2) I haven't really been in tune with my book. My brain isn't focusing on the words and my mind keeps drifting. A question I do have from what I have actually read is, what other make believe creatures will there be? What powers will they have?]]> 2022-03-08 16:37:53 UTC https://padlet.com/vflores48_2/v4itkqmahf8mn7x4/wish/2084378347 https://padlet.com/vflores48_2/v4itkqmahf8mn7x4/wish/2096205853 #1) I haven't been reading a lot so I haven't reached my goal. I have a lot on my mind and can't focus on one single thing for a long amount of time. I plan to read over spring break but I don't know for sure.

#2) I plan to read and actually be interested in a book I choose to read.]]> 2022-03-15 15:17:12 UTC https://padlet.com/vflores48_2/v4itkqmahf8mn7x4/wish/2096205853
